Slovenia - DDDWLW
The Slovenia manager Matjaž Kek does not have any fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this game thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from.
We are thinking that Fantje may well use the 4-4-2 formation for this game, utilising Jan Oblak, Erik Janza, Vanja Drkusic, Jaka Bijol, Jure Balkovec, Petar Stojanovic, Adam Gnezda Cerin, Timi Elsnik, Jan Mlakar, Andraz Sporar and Benjamin Sesko.
Slovenia are hoping to win again following a 0-1 Nations League success over Kazakhstan.
In that match, Slovenia had 48% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Slovenia was Jan Mlakar (55'). At the other end, Kazakhstan got 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.
A recurring aspect of recent Slovenia games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their previous six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost.
Norway - WLDWWL
Thanks to a completely healthy group ready to go, the Norway boss Ståle Solbakken has zero fitness concerns to report before this clash.
There’s a good chance that Løvene will likely play in a 4-3-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Egil Selvik, Julian Ryerson, Leo Oestigard, Stian Gregersen, M. Holmgren Pedersen, Patrick Berg, Morten Thorsby, Sander Berge, Alexander Soerloth, Antonio Nusa and Erling Haaland.
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Austria in Nations League competition, Norway and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Norway had 34% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Norway was Alexander Sørloth (39'). Austria had 16 shots on goal with 10 on target. Marko Arnautović (8', 49'), Philipp Lienhart (58'), Stefan Posch (62') and Michael Gregoritsch (71') scored for Austria.
In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 games featuring Norway, three or more goals have been hit. The overall average number of goals per game within that time is 3.17, with the average number of goals for Norway coming out as 1.67. We shall soon see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

The last five meetings between the two sides have taken place in the Nations League. Løvene registered a 3-0 home win in the reverse fixture in October.
Slovenia are unbeaten in their last four home games in the Nations League, recording two wins. They have suffered just one loss in their last 10 home games in the competition.
Norway are winless in their last three away games in the Nations League, suffering two defeats. They have conceded seven goals while scoring twice and will look to improve upon that record.

Slovenia possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Janza, Drkusic, Bijol, Balkovec; Stojanovic, Cerin, Elsnik, Mlakar; Sesko, Sporar
Norway possible starting lineup:
Selvik; Ryerson, Ostigard, Gregersen, Pedersen; Berg, Thorsby, Berge; Sorloth, Nusa; Haaland
Prediction: Slovenia 1-1 Norway
While Norway swatted Slovenia aside when they last met, a subsequent thumping by Austria and an extensive list of defensive absentees will surely take its toll. Therefore, the spoils will be shared in Ljubljana, leaving both teams locked together on eight before Sunday's final round.
